Siempre por placer

From Janus Films, Les Blank brings us a look at New Orleans and the French Quarter, 1978. the music plays while we watch various scenes of seafood being unloaded, funeral footage.. it's a mix of slow, sad, soulful jazz, and every now and then, they break into faster, happier tunes to celebrate the deceased. Directed by Les Blank.. king of the documentaries from 1960 into the 2000s. he just lets the film roll. not much talk. a whole lot of time spent on the crayfish and food being prepared, cooked, and dished onto plates at the end of the funeral. and a weird explanation of mardi gras. it's all a random look at people in N'Olins, selected by Les Blank. no rhyme or reason. it's mildly entertaining, but nothing scientific or research oriented. very random looks at the mardi gras participants. ain't no thang. bailed out halfway through. couldn't do it.
